"kill!"

Zhang Mo squeezed out these words coldly from between her teeth.

Amina asked, "The person guarding Dong Qing is Li Su. Do you want to come with us?"

Zhang Mo's face was covered with a layer of coldness, and she said coldly, "Kill them all!"

She spared Li Su's life in Beimang Mountain for the sake of Lu Bu, but this time he dared to bring people to kill her subordinates and destroy her earth building. Zhang Chang and his 132 followers even spared no ordinary farmers working in the fields outside. How could she let this group of people go?

Amina clasped her fists and said, "I understand!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Meixiang and said, "Please bring me a piece of raw meat."

Meixiang knew she had to feed the eagle, nodded, and hurried to the kitchen.

After a while, Amina finished writing the note and Meixiang also came over with the meat. Amina walked to the yard and waved the red cloth rhythmically towards the sky. The black eagle hovering in the distant sky descended rapidly. Amina threw the meat up, and the black eagle flapped its big wings and swooped down. Its iron-hook-like claws accurately grabbed the piece of meat, and then flapped its wings and flew to a plum tree in the yard to eat it.

After it finished eating, Amina walked over and put the note into a small bamboo tube tied to the eagle's leg, then gently patted its forehead. The black eagle then soared into the sky again.

Zhang Mo came out and asked, "How long will it take for the news to be delivered?"

Amina said, "Anren and Ah Fei have already taken people to Shangdang County to wait. Ah Fei will receive it in less than a day."

"Is the Eagles ready for training?"

Amina shook her head. "I brought this pair from the grassland. They only recognize me and Ah Fei right now. The other chicks haven't been trained yet."

"Thank you for your hard work! Since the eagle has gone to report the news, you can rest here for a few days. When there is news from the other side, you and Ziyi can go back together."

Amina nodded and said, "Should we inform Lu Bu about this?" After all, Amo wanted to kill his wife and subordinates.

Zhang Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Zhang Mo was not sure whether Lu Bu would stop her from killing Dong Qing and Li Su. She always believed in the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", so no matter what Lu Bu's attitude was, she would take the lives of these two people. As for whether Lu Bu would blame her afterwards, Zhang Mo did not want to think about it at this time.

Zhang Chang might be just a foot soldier, but in Zhang Mo's heart, his life was far more precious than Li Su's. Zhang Chang was a man of letters and numbers, and he had been instrumental in the initial reforms of the village. It had taken her years to hone this talent. She had originally thought that if Du Ji hadn't been captured, or if he had refused to serve, she would have sent Zhang Chang to help Gao Shun govern Bingzhou. But now he had been killed by Li Su. How could she not resent him?

Since Dong Qing was to be killed, Li Su had to be eliminated as well. Zhang Mo didn't know whether Dong Qing already knew that she was a daughter of the Wang family. If she did, letting her come to Luoyang would definitely cause endless troubles, and it would be even more difficult for Lu Bu to do anything. It would be better to kill her and be done with it.

…………

Shangdang County was occupied by the Baibo Army and Yu Furuo last year. However, since the Southern Xiongnu King Xutu was killed by Lu Bu, these bandit troops have been quite well-behaved. When Li Su came from Luoyang, he did not encounter any bandit troops along the way, but he did not expect to be targeted on his way back, and they were the same group of people who ambushed Dong Zhuo at Beimang Mountain last time.

Inside the carriage, Dong Qing lifted the curtain to glance at the bandits blocking the way ahead, then asked Li Su, who was following the carriage, "They are just ordinary bandits. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with them, right?"

Li Su's face was very bad. "These are definitely not ordinary bandits. Last time, the lord's 800 personal guards were wiped out by this group of people in Beimang Mountain. Now we only have 500 people. Do you think there is any problem?"

"Then, what should we do? If he, he wants money, just give the things to him." Dong Qing's face changed and she couldn't speak clearly. Her father's personal guards were all warriors selected with the best physique and martial arts skills, but they couldn't kill these people?

Li Su shook his head, "I'm afraid he's only waiting to take the life of you, Dong Zhuo's daughter!"

"Why? I have no grudge against them."

"They want to kill your father. Do you think there is any grudge?"

Dong Qing's hand, which was holding onto the carriage door, couldn't help but tremble. "Who, who could it be?"

"How do I know?"

Although the lord has always said that he is a member of the Yuan family, it is understandable that the Yuan family would kill the lord, but why would they go to so much trouble to kill a little girl like Dong Qing?

Li Su said, "We can only let the soldiers hold out for a while. Come out and I will escort you out first."

Dong Qing looked at the skirt that prevented her from moving her legs wide, and asked, "How am I supposed to ride a horse in this?"

"Take it off!"

Dong Qing trembled and said, "I, I'm scared, you take me with you."

Although Dong Qing was a good rider, she had no kung fu skills and was not wearing any armor. Any attack from a single blow could take her life. Li Su wanted the soldiers to put armor on her, but he saw that a fight had already started in front of them. The enemy's target was very clear, which was Dong Qing's gorgeous carriage.

Li Su hurriedly pulled Dong Qing over, laid her sideways on his horse, and took two hundred soldiers with him. He turned his horse around and fled back the way he came.

Guan Hai brought 800 Golden Eagle Guards with him. The few people left behind by Li Su were quickly killed, leaving only dozens of them. Seeing that Li Su and others had fled far away, the remaining people followed him and fled while fighting.

Guan Hai left some people behind to transport the property looted by Dong Qing back to Juyi Village, and he took 500 people to hunt him down.

It was said to be a pursuit, but in fact it was a siege. Li Su and others ran a few miles and saw that there were also bandits blocking the road ahead.

"What should I do?" Dong Qing hugged Li Su's waist, her face pale with fear.

Li Su looked around. They were near Tongdi County, with the Qin River to the west. If they were chased to the river, there would be no chance of escape. They could only take a small road to Xiangyuan County in the east, but he felt that there might be bandits in the east as well.

But if he didn't flee at this time, he would die. He decided to take a gamble and see if he could survive. He drew the sword from his waist and cut open Dong Qing's skirt. He asked for a soldier's horse and said, "Everyone, ride faster."

Dong Qing no longer cared about being shy at this time. He rode on the empty horse vacated by the soldiers, and fled for his life to the eastern path with Li Su and dozens of soldiers. The others stayed behind to resist the pursuers.

Li Su was also scared by the deaths he suffered in Beimang Mountain. When he saw the Golden Eagle Guards, the first thing he thought of was to escape. If he had fought hard to break through and charge forward under the protection of 500 Xiliang soldiers when he met Guan Hai, he might have had a better chance of escape. However, dividing his troops little by little to cover the rear would only weaken his own strength. The few people at the rear were killed in just a quarter of an hour.

Guan Hai watched as some of the soldiers fled towards the bushes by the roadside and said to Zhang Fan, "Take your men and disperse them to chase them. Don't let any of them slip through the net. I'll go after Li Su."

Amo's order was to kill them all because she was afraid that among them might be the soldiers who participated in the last suppression of the Southern Xiongnu. If the news leaked out, Lu Bu would have no way to defend himself, and Dong Zhuo might even trace the clues back to the Wang family.

Therefore, when Guan Hai received the order yesterday, he made full preparations and sent people to guard all the forks in the road in this area. No matter where these people escaped, they would die.
